Jon Watts, the director behind Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man trilogy, has shared valuable advice for the filmmaker who will helm the much-awaited Spider-Man 4. As the MCU prepares for the next chapter in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man story, Watts has a word of caution regarding the use of practical effects.
What Not to Do in ‘Spider-Man 4’: Avoid Using Ropes for Swinging Scenes
In an interview with Collider at CCXP in Mexico City, Watts revealed his practical Spider-Man advice: “It doesn’t look good when someone is just swinging on a rope. You think you’re gonna go in there, you’re like, ‘we’re gonna do it all practical. We’re gonna get a stuntman. We’re gonna be swinging around.’ It’s boring. It looks dumb. It looks like a monkey swinging on a vine when you put someone on just a rope.”
Watts emphatically warned, “Don’t waste your time. That’s my advice to the next Spider-Man director.”
